Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Water (to thin, if needed)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Greek yogurt. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and honey to the bowl. Whisk again to incorporate.
Sprinkle in the chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
If you’d like an extra kick of heat, stir in the hot sauce, adjusting the quantity to taste.
Check the consistency of the dressing. If it’s too thick, add water one teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, lime juice, or honey as needed to balance the flavors.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve drizzled over salads, grain bowls, or grilled vegetables, or use as a dip for chips or fresh veggies. Enjoy!
